Simply Perfect

This past winter we had the opportunity to meet and work with a wonderful couple to bring the outdated kitchen in their new home to life. When Sharon and Ken spotted their house, they were immediately taken with the modern lines and wood accents on the exterior.  Walking in the house took them back into time with mid-century furniture and the unique style of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.

It had been 40 years since the kitchen had been renovated.  Walking into the kitchen from the main foyer, on the wall to the right was a floor-to-ceiling mirror that reflected the room on itself, making the kitchen seem twice as large.  The layout was not only outdated; it was dangerous. The stove was located at the top of the basement stairs making the path of travel awkward and precarious.

We were happy to help bring Sharon and Ken a design that met their wish list of clean and bright while giving it a modern and functional facelift.

When looking at the options for cabinets, Sharon gravitated to the different styles offered by Miralis from Saint-Anaclet, Quebec. She took home some sample doors to get a “feel” for them in her space and fell in love with the warm tones in the ‘Autumn Theme’ and how it contrasts with the cool neutral tones in the ‘Winter Fun.’   She chose ‘Winter Fun’ MDF laminate for her upper cabinets and ‘Autumn Theme’ MDF European laminate doors for her lower cabinets.  

To continue with the light and open feeling of the kitchen, Sharon and Ken chose from Latitude’s “Latitude Collection” the colour ‘Tranquility’ by Hanstone. This colour is a soft white with just enough grey/blue veining to catch the eye, giving a gentle movement to the flow of the design. To add dramatic contrast, Sharon and Ken made a statement with an elegant goose-neck faucet in matte black from Bristol Sinks complimented by gold-toned handles from Berenson (knobs for her lower cabinets, and gold edge pulls for her upper cabinets).

At Harwood Kitchens, working with our client to create the perfect kitchen space is what we do, and Sharon and Ken’s delight in their new kitchen is priceless.
